State-Changed-Why:
    This isn't a bug. The specification for getline says that failbit will be set if n items are read without hitting the delimiter. That's what is happening here.
    
    If you change
    
      while(!infile.eof() && record_count < 200)
    
    to
    
      while(infile.good())
    
    You'll get the results you expect.
